Skylato
Also known as: Sky Lato, Skywalker Lato
Skylato Strain Overview
Skylato is a modern hybrid cannabis strain created by crossing two popular strains: Skywalker OG and Gelato. This combination brings together the potent indica effects of Skywalker OG with the balanced hybrid characteristics and dessert-like flavors of Gelato. The strain emerged in the late 2010s as part of the 'cookie' and 'dessert' strain trend that gained popularity in California's cannabis scene before spreading to other markets. Breeders sought to create a strain that maintained the powerful effects of its parents while offering a more complex flavor profile.
Skylato plants typically display dense, conical buds with a frosty coating of trichomes that gives them a glistening appearance. The coloration ranges from deep forest green to purple hues, often accented by vibrant orange pistils. The buds are known for their resinous texture and sticky feel when handled. The strain's aroma is particularly notable, combining earthy, diesel-like notes from its Skywalker OG lineage with sweet, creamy undertakes inherited from Gelato.
While not as widely documented as some mainstream strains, Skylato has gained recognition among cannabis enthusiasts for its balanced effects and complex terpene profile. It represents a continuation of the trend toward designer hybrids that emphasize both potency and flavor complexity. The strain's exact genetic expression can vary between different growers and phenotypes, with some leaning more toward indica characteristics and others displaying more balanced hybrid traits.

Skylato Strain Growing Information
Skylato is considered a moderately difficult strain to cultivate, requiring some experience to achieve optimal results. The plants typically flower in 8-10 weeks indoors, with outdoor harvests ready by mid to late October in northern hemisphere climates. Indoor yields are moderate to high, averaging 400-500 grams per square meter, while outdoor plants can produce 500-600 grams per plant under ideal conditions.
The strain adapts well to both indoor and outdoor growing environments, though indoor cultivation allows better control over the conditions that bring out its best characteristics. Plants tend to remain medium in height, making them suitable for indoor spaces with height restrictions. Skylato responds well to training techniques like topping and low-stress training (LST) to maximize yields. Growers should monitor humidity levels carefully during flowering to prevent mold, as the dense buds can be susceptible in humid conditions. The plants benefit from a balanced nutrient regimen with particular attention to phosphorus during flowering.
